SERVING AT UPBC

We have been blessed by a committed staff of Christian volunteers who collectively have many years of camp experience. We are always looking for new people to come alongside and serve with us. Check out the opportunities listed below and let us know where you'd be interested in helping out!

Summer Staff Interns

Young adults (ages 16-22) have an opportunity to participate in the internship program for either 5 or 10 weeks. 1st half interns serve from Day Camp I through Girls Camp (June 24 - July 20, 2019). 2nd half interns serve from Boys Camp through Family Camp III (July 20 - August 17, 2019). Full Summer interns serve from Day Camp I to Family Camp III (June 24 - August 17, 2019).

In addition to work training, group leadership training, and developing a heart of service, our interns work hard to keep the day-to-day camp programs running smoothly. They work on projects such as carpentry, mowing the lawns, preparing and serving meals, housekeeping, painting, roofing, or organizing group games for kids during family camps. Most also serve as lifeguards on the waterfront or as ropes course instructors. It is a unique experience that can help to shape the life of a servant forever, as lasting character and lifelong friendships are built. Please prayerfully consider if God may want you to serve at UPBC in this way.

If you're interested in serving next summer, email Todd Henderson at todd@upbiblecamp.org after January 1st to request an internship application. Summer Staff internship applications and references will be accepted between January 1st and January 31st, 2019. If accepted, interns must register for the UPBC Summer Staff internship training and pay a $40 registration fee.

Summer AV & Media Intern

Are you talented with a camera? Maybe you have what it takes to capture beautiful photos at UPBC everyday, all summer. UPBC wouldn't be able to produce marketing content year-round without the help from a talented media intern. If you are interested and/or would like more information, send an email to media@upbiblecamp.org.

Summer Head Lifeguard Intern

Want to spend your summer on the beach? To apply for this position, you must be 18 years or older and have at least 2 years of life guarding experience. We need someone who is able to organize a schedule for summer staff lifeguards and aquatic observers. This individual must also be willing to lead training activities for the water front staff, keep the beach area and boat shed picked up, and take on other tasks as assigned. For more info or to apply, send an email to todd@upbiblecamp.org.

Summer Office Intern

The camp office is a busy and important place! To apply for this intern position, you must have basic to intermediate computer skills, organizational skills, be friendly and personable. You should have a willingness to complete a variety of tasks, some of which can be monotonous, and others that require more critical thinking skills. Much of the work involves sorting papers, creating documents on the computer, printing forms, filing, etc. If your work load is light, you may be asked to help in other areas of camp (housekeeping, etc.). To learn more or apply for this internship, send an email to info@upbiblecamp.org.

Summer Kitchen Intern

Running the kitchen is a huge job! We've been blessed with many willing hands over the years that have helped to put delicious meals on the table. The need for a kitchen intern has developed as the camp has grown. This intern will work alongside Susie, our kitchen manager, and help with tasks such as ordering, inventory, stocking and providing assistance / guidance to other kitchen volunteers. To learn more or to apply, send an email to susie@upbiblecamp.org.
